I thought this was interesting. I cook a lot and often "google" recipes, often going to.....

....."Epicurious" for for inspiration.

I also notice many more vegan recipes that a few years ago. I eat some vegan meals but am not vegan.

When you find an online recipe you like, skip the person’s life story and all the scrolling and go directly to the recipe by pasting the url at this site:
